She shoved against my chest, shaking her head as the realization that she’d been mourning me for all of this time. “You lied to me.”
“Riley, this was the only way I’d get the chance to be back with you. They wouldn’t have let me walk away, not after Ivory and Topher died.”
“I thought you were dead. Do you know what that was like? To lose you after you made me…” Her voice trailed off as tears began to roll down her face and I pulled her back against me.
“It was the only way I knew you’d be safe. And Tatum and Greta.” I tucked her hair behind her ear as I pulled her face closer, pressing my lips against her forehead.
“How did you know I’d come here?”
“You told me if you ever had the chance, this is where you’d come. When I read that your father was filming here, I took a chance and contacted him.”
“But what if I didn’t?” She pulled back fractionally, her eyes searching mine.
“I would have waited forever for you, Princess.”
